BEFORE WE GET TO MY QUESTION LETS TAKE A QUICK GANDER AT SOME DEFINITIONS FOR EACH TERM
ASTRAL PROJECTION: ASTRAL PROJECTION IS A WILLFUL AND CONSCIOUS SEPERATION OF THE ETHERIC BODY FROM THE PHYSICAL BODY. OFTEN TIMES DURING ASTRAL PROJECTION IT IS SAID THAT ONE CAN TRAVEL THE MATERIAL WORLD AS WELL AS THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THE ASTRAL PLANE (WHATEVER THOSE ARE VIEWED TO BE)
LUCID DREAMING: A DREAM IN WHICH THE DREAMER IS AWARE THAT THEY ARE SLEEPING AND CAN OFTEN TIMES MANIPULATE THE DREAMS.
I HAVE READ SOME GUIDES ON HOW TO INDUCE ASTRAL PROJECTION, MOST IF NOT ALL REQUIRE THE PERSON TO RELAX AND MEDITATE TO WHERE THEY ARE ALMOST AT THE DREAMING STATE.....
SO HOW DOES ONE KNOW THAT THEY DID NOT DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP AND EXPERIENCE THEIR "ASTRAL PROJECTION" IN A TYPE OF SEMI-LUCID DREAM STATE?
AGAIN I HAVE MY THOUGHTS.. JUST OPENING THIS UP FOR DISCUSSION
Subject: ASTRAL PROJECTION OR LUCID DREAM?
